WikiTree Partners with FamilyTreeDNA
Across My Desk: Breaking news posted late yesterday.
DNA is a powerful tool in a genealogist’s toolbox. Now you can let your new-found cousins at FTDNA see your WikiTree profile to discover your paper trail ancestral research.
“This is just the beginning - FTDNA is planning even more WikiTree integrations, including one-click relationship finding with common ancestors. The future of collaborative genealogy is here!” says our friend Eowyn Langholf, the Tree Elf, in her announcement of this much-anticipated collaboration.
It’s an easy 1-click process to add your WikiTree ID to your FamilyTreeDNA account profile, so your DNA matches can readily discover how you two are related.
